any changes.....

when you've been suffering for months and longer from something that Doctors , Specialists and God knows what else isn't able to remedy, then you tend to try anything!  That is why people turn to all types of strange beleifs, creeds and practices,the main part of which have only one aim - to seperate you from your money - if you have any - and your friends - if you have any! After my xx visit to the Emergency Hospital Department I finally fell into the hands of a Doctor who is a member of the  "CHU 30" group - a largish group of mainly Doctors who wander around the Hospital and do emergency incidents outside the hospital. After some hours of suffrance, during which numerous vertigo attacks - mixed with gallbladder seizures were to be seen by others and experienced by me, a longish conversation with the said doctor took place. This was, after all, the 8th or 10th visit im emergency. all to little or no avail. I, and my wife  were and are, more than ha...

    HELP...........! https://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&safe=images&q=impossible+questions+to+answer&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&biw=1366&bih=643&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=yP8uULCYAuea1AWRu4DYDA http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081115110525AAvHihd http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/542293 It's exactly 04.14am and this is a really enormous problem I have. I risk losing my mind over it - really.   It is really NOT a joking matter. I fear that I have already lost, or seriously risk losing, my wife due to the circumstances. I hope she can understand finally from this article that I'm aware of the problem and I'm looking for solutions. Here is the problem....For some time in the last few months, and this evening/night/morning, from around 1am, I have been plagued with a situation where a question  or questions, was/were posed in my subconscious  such as  "wha...

Repeats......

Image
The television does it all the time, so .......why not? A couple of repeats from a long time ago.....just edited a little bit....it reminds me that I used to have an enjoyable life, and I want to try to have it back again, this time with Tina Concetta...! ********************************** Quite some time ago........  I remember a time (like many of you, without doubt) not so long ago, when a voyage was an adventure.  In the space of a couple of days, within Europe , we changed systems, languages, currency, standards of living, among many other things.  I recall when even a trip to France was fraught with problems, difficulties, amusing situations, dangerous situations. Starting with the very vehicle we were using, which then were not really up to scratch for such voyages. Their reliability was limited,   if you were coming from UK , the steering wheel was (and still is) on the wrong side of everything (roads, petrol pumps, motorway payment booths e...

Today........

Image
OK - this morning I'm up! Don't really know yet what that means except I've not had a dizzy spell yet! Every day is really like a lottery all day long! Yesterday for example I was doing ok when suddenly I had just a little attack...little or not, it still is disturbing because you don't know what is going to happen at the start! Still - for the moment it seems to be ok. We have nothing we must do today, for a change, can be dodgy for me, because I tend to look for things to do on days like that, and then suddenly - BANG....! I'll just have to try to change that!  Well - it hasn't been cancelled just yet, but I think bed will play quite a role! Whenever I feel a bit strange, I lie down. It seems that - in that way - I can avoid a full attack and just try to get things back on an even keel for the day. Finally, let me say (for the day) - I was able to walk down the stairs (all 42 of them) and back up (yep - same again, different direction) pick up the mail, an...

It's village fête......

Image
For the next 10 days or so, it's fête time....... This can be amusing but can also be a naughty time, with bans to park cars, watching out for wild bulls in the street and other bits and bobs....... don't bother about not smoking in the local offices - they're not even open.....! On the other hand, if - like me - you don't think you can get out, then do something at home....after all : IT's the FÊTE....! and caviar and mussels are always eatable..... BONNE FÊTE....!

LIFE IN DANGER..........

Image
They just showed a tv programme all about drownings in France in garden swimming pools! To date there have been 3 a day in June-July Take care out there!  

My area-Mr le Marquis et Mme la Contessa!

Image
Here you are, a little bit of the area - you can just see the Meditterranean Sea coming up close to Montpellier, and it runs down (out of shot) the whole length of the photo, never far away. Actually, you're never far from the Med. but we don't go very often...... TOO MANY TOURISTS....!

Somebody told me they couldn't get sunset photos......

Image
Somebody I know tried a few times to get pictures of the same thing, but no success. Well  it is possible! and the can be very nice.....   I don't know why it works for me....must be my natural talent.....! There we are - there is some rough justice somewhere

Different kind of emergency......!

Image
Oh boy, what would I have given for a button like this in my bedroom, just a couple of hours ago! First I'll set the scene......I'm still bedridden - still taking the tablets and hoping that very soon, either tomorrow or the day after I'll be able finally to get up and move around the appartment at least....SO - I'm in bed! Tina Concetta, my only link with anything alive, has had to go shopping, and it looks like there has been a problem - she has been gone 3 hours - just to the local shop, in the car. I have to somehow or other get to the telephone which is, rather stupidly, sitting in the living room, looking at me, and almost like   it's saying "dumb-dumb"......! It's only about 10 feet away, but it might as well be 10 miles, my chances of making it before I black out are very slim. Maybe I can try to slide on my holier than holies, at least the floor is tiled and not wooden with splinters! Even if I make it, I have no idea what I should call! ...
